Ok. I pulled out my AIO [All-In-One] G3 Mac and loaded a copy of the Alchemy that is here on this site. This AIO is running OS 9.2.1 right now. OMS is not installed. Alchemy is version 3.0. I turned off Appetalk. I pulled out my Emax II, which a few days ago I swore was dead. I connected the RS422 cable and then plugged it into the Mac's Modem port. I turned on the Emax II and loaded up a preset. Its a go. I had an error at first. Then, I got samples from the Emax II into the Mac. Starts off with the Mac making the Emax II's disk drive go into action for a sec. It seems as if the program sort semi-crashes as it receives the sample, but the sample appears. I have t o do some more investigation. I don't remember this kind of thing happening back in the day. This is what's up: In Alchemy, under "Network," the Emax II is selected with a little check mark. I went into edit and made sure that RS422 is selected and that the Modem port was selected. So far, I have de-selected Midi patcher. I also tried the Serial port. No go. That "No Keyboard Map" message shows up. I'll know mor soon. I think that the midi connecton may be needed to complete the process. I might be wrong. Peace and more news later. homershines --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "elmacaco" <elmacaco@h...> wrote: > Hey that would be great, I really appreciate the effort. > > Thanks > ----- Original Message ----- > From: ted Summers > To: emax@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 9:40 PM > Subject: Re: [emax] Re: Wav to Emax I Apple II emulator > > > Doesn't disk image utility do that???
